"'''Swarley'''" is the seventh episode in the [[How I Met Your Mother
The name "Swarley" is taken from an in-episode joke. A [[Coffeehouse|coffee shop]] [[barista]] mistakenly hears [[Barney Stinson|Barney]]'s name as "Swarley" and writes it on his cup. This leads to a [[running gag]] in which everyone mercilessly refers to Barney as "Swarley" despite his protests. This culminates to the point of the entire bar shouting
==Plot==
The men go to a coffee shop, to find out if hanging out at a coffee shop is as fun as hanging out at a bar (which they conclude it is not), where [[Ted Mosby|Ted]] points out that Chloe ([[Morena Baccarin]]), the woman working there, has drawn a heart next to [[Marshall Eriksen|Marshall]]'s name on his cup. Ted insists that Chloe has a [[limerence|crush]] on Marshall because she always laughs at his bad joke about how they fit a [[pumpkin]] into a pumpkin-flavored [[latte]]. She has not added hearts on Ted's or [[Barney Stinson|Barney]]'s cups, but has written Barney's name as "Swarley", prompting everyone to call him the name for the duration of the episode. Barney protests, but variations on the [[nickname]] become a running gag throughout the episode.

Both [[Digital Spy]] and ''[[Radio Times]]'' listed "Swarley" as one of the ten best ''How I Met Your Mother'' episodes, with the latter describing it as "one of the most [[ridiculous]] episodes of ''How I Met Your Mother''", but claiming "that's exactly why it works".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/s212/how-i-met-your-mother/feature/a559862/how-i-met-your-mother-the-10-best-episodes-from-cbs-comedy.html#~peQ6s9QUeCHuSt|title=How I Met Your Mother: The 10 best episodes from CBS comedy|last=Eames|first=Tom|work=[[Digital Spy]]|date=March 24, 2014|accessdate=June 6, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2014-03-31/how-i-met-your-mother-the-ten-best-episodes|title=How I Met Your Mother: The ten best episodes|work=[[Radio Times]]|last=Velarde|first=Ciera|date=March 31, 2014|accessdate=June 6, 2015}}</ref>
